Custom designed for my clients, I was inspired by the mid century modern home they had recently purchased. Not far from our very first home in Reseda, California, this mid-mo ranch style is the perfect starter home.

The clients wanted an open concept kitchen on a very tight budget. By using Ikea cabinetry and counter tops, my client’s appliances and a bit of ingenuity, I was able to transform a dreary dark kitchen into a room they never want to leave.

Working with my client’s original dark wood floors, I continued that drama onto the cabinets and counter tops balancing it with hearty shocks of bold citrus color and pattern. I wrapped their black refrigerator with my wallpaper – Lemon Jello as well as the dishwasher to add a splash of pattern. Using decals from my San Fernando Collection, I added interest to the back-painted glass wall hung pattern.
